Donald Trump attacked Britain on Monday evening, taking aim at Theresa May saying it is “good news” the UK will soon have a new Prime Minister. The US President also said he would no longer deal with Sir Kim, after leaked private memos in which the ambassador hits out at Mr Trump. Speaking on Good Morning Britain, host Piers Morgan question what position the UK was in to be critical of the US, amid the “Brexit farce”.
He said: “There is another side to this. Who the hell are we to be lecturing anybody about dysfunctional, unruly, divisive administrations?
“As our country goes to hell in a handcart over this Brexit farce, we are lettering the Americans on how to behave.”
He added: “This is a crucial relationship for this country. Trump comes to the UK on a state visit. Massive success by common consent and we are looking to do a big new trade deal with them.
“Our UK ambassador, here’s the thing, he might think all this stuff, and this stuff is nothing new, it is the usually Trump bashing.
“It may be something that he thinks, for a man who is supposed to be a diplomat to put this in writing, so it could then be potentially leaked, is cretinous.”
On Monday afternoon, the US President took a devastating swipe at the UK. He wrote on Twitter: “I have been very critical about the way the UK and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit.
“What a mess she and her representatives have created. I told her how it should be done, but she decided to go another way.
“I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the US. We will no longer deal with him.

“The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister.
“While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent state visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!”
The Foreign Office has begun an investigation after it emerged Sir Kim had said the US President was “insecure”, “inept” and ran a “uniquely dysfunctional” White House in private memos that have been leaked.
Downing Street said Mrs May has “full faith” in the UK’s ambassador to the US after the huge breach in confidentiality.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman told a Westminster briefing on Monday morning: “The Prime Minister has full faith in her ambassador to Washington.
“Our ambassadors provide honest, unvarnished assessments of politics in their country, those views are not necessarily the views of ministers or indeed of the Government.
“As the Foreign Secretary has said, this leak is not acceptable.
“We would expect such advice to be handled in the correct way and a leak inquiry has been launched.”
